Camille “Hisi” Quotskuyva learned to make pottery from her mother, Dextra Quotskuyva.  She is a sister of noted painter Dan Namingha and a descendant of Nampeyo of Hano, Annie Healing, and Rachel Nampeyo.  She is known for her use of traditional imagery and the delicate painting of her designs.  This is one of her classic shapes with a wide shoulder and a flat rim.  The jar is painted with bee-weed (black) and red and white clay slips. The red areas are polished and there is mica in the red clay.  The top of the mouth of the jar is polished red. There are two spiraling birds on either side of the jar.  They have geometric shapes as part of the design and areas highlighted with white clay.  The jar is traditionally fired to create fire clouds on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom, “Hisi Nampeyo” and a corn plant for Corn Clan. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
